Students may only use these credits for the assigned grades (i.e. students cannot combine both certifications towards one grade).

The awards do not need to be current.

If the student has already used Bronze Cross for 2 credits, then completes Lifesaving Instructor at a later date, they can replace the 2 credits from Bronze Cross with 3 credits for Lifesaving Instructor and Bronze Cross combined.

Process

Students are asked to inform their school counsellor in charge of curriculum that they wish to use these certifications as part of the "External Credit Program."

Students will be asked to provide proof of their certification card(s).
